OAKLAND -- The A's made their two-year deal with veteran reliever Yusmeiro Petit official Thursday, injecting a versatile weapon into their bullpen.
The $10 million pact includes a $5.5 million club option for 2020, with a $1 million buyout.
"Petit was a guy that we talked about from the beginning of the offseason, if not before," A's general manager David Forst said. "We saw him a lot [last] season with the Angels, and it was obvious to us that he was kind of the perfect guy for what we need. It's just his ability to do anything.
